The adsorption of surfactants on the rock samples was investigated with and without the presence of alkali. The point of zero charge (PZC) values were determined for the sandstone samples employing three titrimetric methods and it was found to be at pH 7.98. The relationship between the adsorption degree and pH value of brine below and above the PZC is discussed. It was found that at the pH of solution exceeds the PZC of the rock, the adsorption was 0.43 and 0.86mg/g of rock for the two surfactants. However, at pH values below PZC, the adsorption as high as 3.66 and 4.49mg/g for the two surfactants. The synthesized surfactants are found to be suitable for the EOR applications at pH values higher than the PZC of the rock sample. © 2014 Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. date: 2014 publisher: Taylor and Francis Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84896071297&doi=10.1080%2f01932691.2013.785362&partnerID=40&md5=50746a27f62e37d4d3dcfac184b1b04e id_number: 10.1080/01932691.2013.785362 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology volume: 35 number: 3 pagerange: 343-349 refereed: TRUE issn: 01932691 citation: Mushtaq, M. and Tan, I.M. and Ismail, L. and Nadeem, M. and Sagir, M. and Azam, R. and Hashmet, R.
